This is certainly a topic that has ridicule factor and triggers many people to use labeling words like "conspiracy theories" and "crazy" and "tin-foil hat", and as I consider this long-running Google Blogger blog page to be serious and impactful and with value, it was with careful deliberation that I decided to weigh on the recent news surrounding UFOs and the UFO whistleblowers and new investigations by the news media and the U.S. Government. Even now with the latest bombshell new reports major publishing media like the New York Times and the Washington Post and other major media outlets on TV and print are hesitant and currently holding back from this giving this full coverage, but I decided that this is news worthy and has major relevance to society, education, humanity's pace of science and technology development, and even our sense of our place in the universe. Full disclosure it's been a topic of personal interest for me since my childhood and while I have maintained interest in it and like to be well-versed on the topic, it is just one of many interests I have and I do not want to be perceived as a UFO fanatic, though I think it is a very cool topic.
I am a US-born citizen from Los Angeles and I would like report and comment on the new information regarding UFOs as an enthusiastic private researcher. The new bombshell that came out in June 2023 is the UFO whistleblower named David Grusch who had a long and successful career in the United States Air Force (USAF) and as a high-ranking intelligence official in The Pentagon with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). This person had a high rank and is vouched for by insiders in the government as a dependable and credible and serious person who had a 14-year career and was respected by his peers. Mr. Grusch was interviewed by Newsnation and released a major interview where he stated that he has been authorized by the Pentagon to disclose to the public the information he knows namely that the the US Government, more specificially the US military and national security intelligence agencies have, for decades, had in their possession alien or non-human technological craft and even dead alien bodies, and that this fact has been covered up and the general public have been officially lied to for decades about it. Mr. Grusch stated the famous Roswell event of 1947 was extraterrestrial in nature as well. There are many fantastical claims made by David Grusch including that the US military has hired private aerospace contractors to reverse engineer UFO technology. In addition, Mr. Grusch stated that there are some UFO crafts as big as a football field that have been in the possession of the US military. As fantastical and crazy and unbelievable as it all sounds, as hard it is to take seriously or deal with it, these are serious allegations that have enormous implications and consequences for America, human society, and the world. Politicians have had to answer to their constituents and respond, as has the Pentagon, and the White House. I believe that this is historically and socially consequential news and there will be new developments to come and this will change society and the world. Hopefully for the better.
The United States Congress led by a bipartisan group of Senators have decided to convene UFO hearings largely spurred by UFO whistleblower David Grusch. These new UFO hearings are due to held by the House Oversight committee in the last week of July 2023, and it is planned that The Pentagon will have to answer to these stunning new allegations. In addition, other whistleblowers apparently that support David Grusch are ready to testify to Congress under oath, as will David Grusch. In interviews, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has stated that he is aware of several other UFO whistleblowers with first-hand knowledge testimony who can corroborate and support the testimony of David Grusch. All these whistleblowers worked in the US Military and were insiders. In addition, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) the Majority Leader in the Senate and the leading lawmaker has introduced a bill that would order the declassification of classified UFO documents held by the US Government, namely the US Military and intelligence agencies. Sen. Schumer has stated that his bill takes inspiration from the JFK Records Act of 1992, which ordered the eventual release by 2017 of all classified records on the 1963 JFK Assassination. Though I want to note here that as of 2023 thousands of pages of JFK assassination records are still being held classified in violation of the law the 1992 JFK Records Act, though millions of records were released with the help of the ARRB (Assassination Records and Review Board) in the 1990s, that added evidence to the widespread long-held public belief in a JFK assassination conspiracy and cover-up to this day as we approach the 60th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) also supports the new investigations and the release of classified UFO files, he stated "I think people deserve to know." Rep. Burchett also claimed that the US Government has alien tech in it's possession and that is being reverse engineered. Burchett claimed, "This thing is a huge cover-up, for whatever reason. And I just feel like America is ready, we need to know, and to stop with all the shenanigans.” Finally Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has claimed that the US Government has downplayed the reports of UFO sightings it is aware of and what it knows about them. “The number of these is apparently huge, huge. And that is something that the government has, the best I can say about it, downplayed, if not kept from the public, for a long, long time,” Hawley told NewsNation.
In 2022 there were a UFO hearing in Congress for the first time in decades. Pentagon officials like Scott Bray testified and explained the situation with UAPs (Unidentified Arial Phenomenon) the current official term for UFOs. In 2021 the Pentagon released an official report on UAPs that concluded there was many unexplained sightings and the extraterrestrial hypothesis could not be ruled out. In 2017 the New York Times broke a story by journalist Leslie Kean about the Pentagon UAP investigation unit that made big mainstream news as it was admitted the US Government was publicly acknowledging officially that it was investigating UAPs or UFOs for the first time since Project Blue Book started and closed in the 1960s. It is an interesting question for me, an independent commentator here, why more people are not mentioning the famous case of Bob Lazar who made headline news worldwide in 1989 claiming he was hired to help reverse engineer alien spacecraft in Area 51, namely a smaller base to the south named S4. In the 3 decades since then Bob Lazar has maintained interest in his story and a degree of credibility, even a major documentary was released in 2019 about his story. Also, I note that I have not seen or read anyone mentioning the Disclosure Project in May 2001 in the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that was organized by Dr. Steven Greer and he assembled dozens of credible military insiders and whistleblowers to attest to the reality of UFOs and alien visitation. I also think that the "Majestic 12" document controversy since the 1980s is relevant to discuss as well, though I have not read any journalists bring that up. The "MJ-12" documents were alleged U.S. Government documents that were leaked to private researchers in the 1980s that purported to described a secret group of scientists and politicians within the U.S. Government who managed and handled the UFO technology and crash retrieval and cover-up of the matter since the time of the National Security Act of 1947, a secret group for UFO study and research similar in concept to the Manhattan Project that was for atomic weapon development during World War II. Those "MJ-12" documents remain controversial and disputed and there are arguments for their authenticity and arguments that debunk them as a hoax. Some researchers speculate and theorize that the documents were released as government disinformation or part of the long process of Soft Disclure to ease the public shock of Full Discloure of the UFO reality. In any event, It seems clear to me these earlier UFO news events are echoed by the new UFO whistleblower testimonies in 2023 and are relevant to the current Congressional investigations of UFOs.
So the concluding question is what is the significance of all this? What does all this mean how is this important meaningful for the average American and average world citizen? Where is all this leading to? Well, this has been a popular pop culture topic in America since 1947 and throughout all the decades to 2023 the government investigations and popularity of this topic with movies and TV shows and books and the media, I think the truth of the issue needs to be finally widely disseminated and accepted. I think ultimately this is a question of truth and consequences. I believe that the truth must ultimately prevail. Polling results have consistently shown in the past several decades that a majority of Americans believe that the US Government is hiding information about UFOs and knows more than it is telling the public, the latest Gallup and Rasmussen polls show that a majority of Americans believe there is intelligent life beyond Earth in the universe and that the US Government is covering-up the evidence for UFOs. There may be things to learn and know about this matter that could be difficult for the average person to handle. There very likely have been national security considerations for concealing the full truth of this matter from the American public, the reasons probably include the risk of adversarial nations from gaining information / technology that could be used against America, and also the risk of public hysteria. It has been seen as having ramifications for religious institutions as well. But I think kids and Adults can handle the truth and deserve it. I believe there are major implications in all this information. It would be humbling and exciting to know that there are advanced races out there that have advanced technology that enable travel among the stars. Who knows that kind of magic and wonder their civilizations could have created that would Wow us and Amaze us? Maybe there is much we can learn and be improved as a human civilization by peacefully and cooperatively interacting with spacefaring advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. As to the question if aliens are friendly or not, I think that is a good question. David Grusch mentioned in his interview with Newsnation and in his testimony to the US Congress hearing that he and his wife had seen video evidence of "very disturbing" behavior of an Alien to a Human. The question of whether aliens are friendly or hostile/potentially dangerous is a question I do not have a direct answer to and I think that it is obvious that this question has national security implications, and of course global security implications as well. I think that is a scary thought that there could be hostile aggresive violent dangerous even evil Aliens out there, especially if they have super advanced technology and highly developed intelligence. However, even there I would caution people to not stereotype and jump to conclusions. I certainly don't want to see a Future where people are scared of Aliens. While I believe all kids and Adults or Grown-Ups All People Should be Safe and Protected and I don't like to see violence, I would not want Aliens to be mistreated or stereotyped or hostile actions on the part of Humans towards Aliens. I can understand there are potential logical justiciations for the relevant agencies of the U.S. Government to have withheld from the US public the full Truth over the last many decades, there are potential logical reasons like avoiding mass panic or society disruption or keeping advanced technology secrets from adversial nations and also there could potentially be scary information that many people would not be able to Handle. I think that most Kids and Adults can Handle more than what we may assume they can. I would offer that humans have not always been so friendly to even other Humans let alone other Animals on Earth, there have been historical levels of conflict and violence between different groups and between nations in different regions here on Earth. There has long been the human activity of hunting animals for Sport and Fun not just for eating or sustenance, also many animals have been killed historically for economic reasons beyond food sustenance like furs and whale oil and Elephant tusks, etc. But many humans have had demonstrated great acts of genuine Love to one another and many humans have performed great acts of love and care and protection for animals and nature as well. Even the typical modern 21st century office environment can have interpersonal politics and conflicts sometimes and many families have disputes and family quarrels that sometime turn very serious or violent, and definitely most people have dealt with bullies of some sort while going to school. I think that if alien races have been visiting Earth for some time then there would have been plenty of time for them to annihilate us if they wanted to. David Grusch mentioned that there is good reason to conclude than a higher intelligence alien civilization has been monitoring human civiliation for thousands of years, and that there is reason to believe Humanity itself was seeded by a higher alien race. I think there are so many exciting interesting cool things to learn about this matter. Also, David Grusch mentioned that a hardware technological UFO flying saucer was captured and studied by Benito Mussolini's government in Italy in the 1930s....As a Person who went to school as a Kid, I can easily deduct that it is highly likely even close to Certain that Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany regime, as the leader and major Axis ally of Italy, also came into possesion of this UFO flying saucer or others like it, and that it is logical to conclude that Nazi Germany under Adolf hitler had access to highly advanced extraterrestrial alien technology, during the Pre-World War II environment, Before it became what remains the bloodiest most violent most deadly war in recorded Human history....even with the more recent Global Threats Stressors of the Age of Nuclear Weapons, The War on Terror, and the COVID-19 global pandemic. My best guess is that just like on Earth there may possibly be some cosmic conflicts in Space between advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, and there possibly could be Aggressive/Hostile alien races and also Friendly/Peaceful/Benign alien races as well. I would Hope that there are much more Friendly/Benign/Peaceful alien races out there than not. It could be a dangerous Universe but I personally Prefer a Hopeful Exciting Interesting Cool Universe to explore and expand frontiers of knowledge and peace. All humans are not friendly but many are, maybe not all aliens may be friendly but many could very well be, but I certainly want to believe that a unified humanity can be on friendly terms with advanced extraterrestrial civilizations and ultimately advance our knowledge and spiritualism and we can expand to new frontiers of peace and knowledge and wonders of science. Essentially a vast improvement of our human civilization in all areas sounds extremely exciting to me. David Grusch mentioned in his interview with Newsnation that there had been treaties or agreements made between some alien races and the U.S. Government that "could put our future in jeopardy." I have not seen any follow-up on that topic and I certainly would like to be more aware and learn more about the possibly treaties that were made and could be made with Alien groups and I think that I would find that fascinating to learn the truth about that and the implications for human society, for better or worse. David Grusch also stated the reason he came out publicly on the information was that he did not want to grow old and regret later not revealing the truth to the American people, call me a Boy Scout or whatever he said. Well, I was a Boy Scout of America as a kid in Los Angeles in the 1990s and as I remain a loyal United States-born citizen and also as a humble Grown Man now I feel spot on with David Grusch and I think this has the real potential to change the world for the better.
So to conclude as a US-born citizen from Los Angeles all my life this topic has been very popular. Yeah, I watched "The X-Files" as a kid growing up in Los Angeles in the 1990s
